The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



FEBRUARY 24, 1S9S. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The unusually cold weather for 

 southern Califoruia the last two 

 months, has made a shortage in cut 

 flowers. Even carnations, for which 

 this section is becoming so noted, have 

 not met the demand. 



The Redondo growers are about, if 

 not the only ones, that have not suf- 

 fered from the frost. They have some 

 thirty acres planted to carnations. Mr. 

 Feder is cutting from 2. .500 to 3.000 per 

 week, and the Redondo Beach Co. 

 about the same. While they are not 

 cutting nearly so many as they would 

 if the weather was more favorable, yet 

 the quality does not seem to be affect- 

 ed, as they have as fine blooms as one 

 could find. 



J. J. Dean, of Moneta. in the valley 

 between Redondo and Los Angeles, 

 would have lost a good deal if he had 

 not had his young stock under glass. 

 The frost ruined his outdoor stock for 

 cut flowers. Capt. Gray, of the Ingle- 

 side Nursery. Alhambra. suffered about 

 as badly. What carnations he is cut- 

 ting, he has under glass. 



We think the palm will have to be 

 awarded to the Redondo growers, both 

 as to quality and quantity. M.
